8 Main Reasons Why Women Cheat in Their Relationship

Do you ever wonder if women cheat as much as men do? The stereotype created around the concept of cheating has suggested that men cheat more which is only half the truth. Women are just as capable of cheating in a relationship, however they are fairly better at hiding it.  

While men mostly cheat because they’re not happy with how their physical relationship is with their partner. They want more, and hence go look for it elsewhere. Women however crave for more than just a physical connection. When a woman cheats, she takes into consideration a lot of reasons, read ahead to find out why women cheat in love.  

Emotional Reasons why women cheat in a relationship

1. Disconnection:

 One of the biggest reasons why women become disinterested in an ongoing relationship is the lack of connection they feel in a bond.  Everyone knows women are huge on emotions and find it very alarming and amazing when emotions are expressed to them. They want their partners to be involved, emotionally.  

They want them to make big gestures and say little words that resonate with their heart for a long time. However, when you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, you start to lose that spark. You don’t feel that young anymore.  

 When so much time passes, you expect your partner to just understand the things you don’t say to them. However women want recognition, they sometimes want to be reminded of how special they are to you. When you stop doing that, it is most likely that they will start looking for the emotional consoling elsewhere, which results in cheating on the people they are with.  
 

2. Boredom:

 Men aren’t the only people that want a little spice in the relationship. Instead, women crave for variation too. You know how after a few years or even months couples become monotonous with their routines. There are lesser date nights, and romantic surprises; the routine can become very boring.  

Just like men can get bored of the same sex routine, women get tired of the same activities they do together. If you had a partner that cheated on you during your relationship, ask yourself did you stop bringing her flowers? Did you two spend time on your phones, or in front of the TV too much instead of talking to one another?  

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you need to understand that she became bored of how routine like your lives were. She went out looking for variation. She wanted to be swept off her feet, and have adventures. This is one of the biggest reasons that might compel a woman to cheat on her lover.  
 

3. Abuse:

Feeling physically violated is one thing, but feeling emotionally violated can really mess up a person. They could start doing things they never thought of doing it. In today’s world, there are so many people stuck in abusive relationships, abuse doesn’t only limit itself to physical abuse, but also mental and emotional abuse.  

Women experience all these abuse on multiple fronts from their lovers. Sometimes it doesn’t even have to be something too great, little abusive tendencies could make a woman reach her breaking point. If you’ve ever been emotionally abusive to her, and wonder why she chose another man over you, maybe you should think about how you treat her.  

 Abuse and feeling unappreciated in a relationship could lead a woman to look for comfort and ease outside of her relationship. You could reduce the chances of this happening by becoming more self-aware about your behavior with her, and the people around you. This isn’t only for her, but also for you. Wouldn’t you want to be a person that people loved, instead of being feared?

4. Revenge:

 Revenge is a strong emotion; it often generates from being wronged. Everyone knows that men often stray from their relationship and actively cheat on their partners. When men are disloyal, women tend to not understand how to react. Most women are afraid of confronting the men out of the fear that they might walk away if the affairs are acknowledged.  

Absence of a healthy outlet lets them build up on the feeling of revenge. A drunken night out, or a little alone time could let the strong feelings take over and in a moment of absolute weakness women may cheat on their partners.  

Revenge might just not stem from their partners cheating on them, but instead could even stem from just general unfairness they might feel in a relationship: these could include a man’s neglect towards domestic responsibilities, a woman being constantly stuck in the house while a man enjoys his life. Women can begin resenting you if you do not put at least half of the effort that she puts into your life.  

Physical Reasons why women cheat in a relationship

1. Craves intimacy:

Women are not always just about emotions. Some of them actually crave for the perfect relationship in the bedroom, just like men. The craving sensations may vary, but eventually both of them want a more satisfying physical relationship. So if you’re trying to answer the question why she cheated on you, once you’re done looking at the emotional reasons, you should look over whether or not the women were satisfied with you in other ways.  

While for men, it may be okay to just have sex and the bare minimum is something they look to achieve. However, with women, they just don’t want routine sex, sometimes they might not even want to be too wild or adventurous in bed, but just a little bit more intimacy. When you’re in bed with her, kiss her a little more, caress her body, make her feel wanted. 
 

2. Unsatisfied sexual needs:

Women can also experience unsatisfactory sensations from your time in the bedroom. In fact women feel this more than men, while men maybe concerned about how little variation there is in your sex life. Women could be concerned about how little time you spend trying to please her.  

You know how sex is iat the beginning of a relationship where you are trying new things and your main focus sometimes becomes just to please her and let her have a good time? Women want that even after you’ve spent a considerable time in a relationship with her. She wants you to continue pushing her buttons, trying new things on her or with her, and feel young again. 

Women often stray away from their loyalty and end up cheating because they are ridiculously unsatisfied with their current relationship. To make sure her head doesn’t stray away from the thoughts of you, you need to make sure that you give her something new: kiss her neck, go down on her, text dirty to her. Make her feel validated, and wanted. It will work wonders.  
 

3. Growing old:

Women that move away from their partners and seek comfort elsewhere are often (not always) ones that are in their late forties, or are young adults. Both these ages are when women are experiencing bodily changes, and are growing out of the skin that once made them feel young, wanted and the center of attention.  

Women are very insecure about their looks, and how they look to their man. When they are going through changes that make them feel alien in their own skin, they need the support of their partners, to feel validated. Men often don’t think of it as a huge life changing experience, and therefore forget to appreciate them.  

 
Women when feel neglected would often look in other places for the comfort that they want from their own men. They will cheat to make sure men still want something, to feel validated.  
 

4. Non attractiveness:

 
We often blame women for how unkempt they were, when the man cheats. We blame them for not maintaining themselves, taking care of themselves, and dedicating their entire time to the kids and the house. Men need to see something that they want. The funny this is, this rule works both ways. Men when in a relationship for too long, forget to look after themselves.  

It is understandable that they don’t feel like they need to impress her any longer, but they do need to make sure her mind doesn’t wander off elsewhere. Women get disheartened when a man no longer looks the part out of the worry of losing her. She wants her man to be well kempt. If a woman starts finding you unattractive, she might still love you, but her mind would wander off to well dressed, well-maintained, and sharp looking men!  

Summary

Men and women cheat in relationships, it isn’t a hidden secret. But why both of them would cheat is a mystery to some. While men cheat because of how boring their relationships become; women cheat because of multiple reasons which include both physical and emotional reasons. The emotional reasons to cheat include her feeling neglected, the feeling of revenge, the aftermath of abuse, and boredom and loneliness.  

 
The physical reasons for why a woman might cheat is when she starts finding you unattractive because of how little efforts you put; her own physical changes that make her insecure and seek for validation, where ever it may come from; she might not be entirely satisfied with how your physical relationship is.
